I collapse onto the bed in the spare room after dinner, anxious to phone Bekah. Dinner was lovely. Harry was adamant that he wanted to cook, something I didn't realise he could do, and do well if the meal he prepared was any indication. He said that two years living alone will do that to a person, but I think he's been able to cook longer, he just never volunteered at the house.
With the time difference, Bekah will have just opened up the pub, but I'm hoping it'll be quiet so she can answer her phone. The phone rings three times before it connects.
"NATALIE!" She yells, and I yank the phone away from my ear, deciding to put it on speaker and rest it on my chest to avoid getting deafened.
"Bloody hell Bekah!" I reply, laughing softly, "I prefer my hearing intact!"
"Sorry love! It's just been three days now and I haven't heard anything from you. I was starting to worry that Louis had actually just taken you to his house and murdered you."
I laugh out loud at that.
"You dipshit."
"Hey! It could happen!"
"No, no it couldn't." I can hear her smirking through the phone. "It's not busy at the pub is it?"
"It's never busy when we open, doll, it's completely empty, but I will put you in my pocket if a customer does come in."
"Can't wait."
"So... come on then, tell me everything!" I take a deep breath, mentally recalling the past few days.
"It's been a fucking whirlwind, I'll tell you that much." I start. "I was so bloody nervous to see them all again, I was pretty convinced that they were just gonna be angry at me and not want to talk to me, like I said to you."
"Yeah, and I said you had nothing to worry about. Was I right?" I roll my eyes.
"Of course you were right Bekah. I've never known you to not be right."
"Exactly." I can see the smug look on her face in my mind.
"Niall and Liam literally pounced on me as soon as they saw me and gave me the biggest hug."
"And Harry?" My stomach flops just thinking about it.
"Neither of us could move to begin with. We were both just frozen. But Louis shoved him towards me and he hugged me and we just stayed like collapsed on the floor in a heap together and cried."
"Oh darling."
"It really felt like coming home, Beks. I don't know how else to describe it."
"And what's happened since then?"
"He asked if I'd come back to his house, so I've been staying with him since then. We had a massive chat yesterday about everything, admitted that we both still love each other-"
She squeals down the phone.
"Oh darling I'm so pleased for you! I knew it would be like that!"
"Yeah yeah, Bekah's always right, I get it. No, it was really good to get it all out in the open. Then we went for coffee and I saw some of LA. The weather's so beautiful."
"Oh, shut up about the weather, talk to me about the beautiful man you're staying with!" I laugh softly.
"Well, he's still beautiful. Even more beautiful, especially up close." I rub my hand across my face. "I'm head over heels Beks. I knew I was to begin with, but being with him again just makes it all the more evident. I think I'd do anything for him if he asked me too."
